After a few years of sporadic running, Laura McCrain was quickly swept into Huntsville’s incredible running community upon her relocation to Alabama in 2008. Through Fleet Feet, Laura completed both 10K and half marathon training programs in 2009. Inspired by her new friends and introduced to local trail running in Monte Sano State Park, she set a goal to finish a 50K trail race. To date, Laura has completed three 50K trail races, including the 2011 Mountain Mist 50K. In June 2011, Laura finished the RockCreek Stage Races in Chattanooga…“60 Miles – 3 Days – 3 Mountains.”
Laura is happiest exploring new trails with her wonderful running buddies, including her husband, Will Barnwell. Laura and Will are indulgent owners of two mixed breed, non-athletic dogs named Dixie and Scout. Laura enjoys spending time with her husband and dogs, reading, and traveling and is thankful for a very full and blessed life.
A native of North Carolina, she graduated from NC State University with degrees in Aerospace Engineering and works as a systems engineer in the military-industrial complex.
